hello guys nice to meet you
acronis actually is not a start-up as
much of the company's presented here
with Cronus's really big company with
800 some place in more than 20 offices
around the world
and millions of customers and business
clients though it's still full of
entrepreneurial entrepreneurial spirit
20 is well known as a provider of cloud
and on-premise bakaba disaster recovery
solutions data storage file sync and
share solutions of course not all there
four hundred engineers are working on
the blockchain products though we apply
a lot of efforts in this direction and I
would like to share with you our
vision to tell you about our
achievements use cases and the lessons
you've learned
our first product is acronis notary it's
a it's a platform that allows customers
to store and exchange data in a safe
manner a bit the guarantee of
authenticity and integrity of this data
you may argue that the mutability probe
that the immutability property of the
blockchain is not in use but what
differs a whole product which acronis
notaries and the feature is the set of
interfaces and
features that allows customers to solve
their problems not really has a
combination of unique features such as
synchronization between nodes advanced
search of protected metadata built-in
verification of stored data and have to
put algorithm I will tell you in ma
details about it later
basically the blockchain the best I it
for cases where multiple parties and
multiple entities involved and
especially when those entities do not
complete the trust each other and there
is no a trusted intermediary
that's why the thing that our solution
is best used for a consortium that needs
to exchange data and sometimes big
chance of data that are impractical to
store in a blockchain
you may argue that there is for example
I PFS for that right but it's a PFS is
good to share
photos of your dog or your white papers
but when you deal with medical records
and personal data you would definitely
prefer to to do with something more
secure
so we found the tower product works well
with consortiums where data is shared
between the parties
let me say few words about features of
the product first the certificate of
course when you
anchor your file in
in a fingerprint of your data in in the
blockchain
it's not it's not a new feature of
course every one of you knows about it
but what differs our
certificate our products our note is
written authorization certificate allows
you to verify authenticity of your file
you're safe by well provide you'd be
providing you with all the necessary
information for this and the certificate
contains all the necessary information
for this and you can prove authenticity
and integrity of the data even though
you would have stopped using our
applications so it could be done
independently the verification could be
done manually or by using the API you
provide you
verification can also could also be done
in
dently by a third parties
search
another necessary feature is the
research as you know it's
blockchain and athyrium itself are not
very good for this so we provide this
feature for you you can you can
sometimes you need to know who and when
applauded the file to the storage as
well as you need to filter your data by
date time and status for example we
developed this convenient user interface
and rest rest api for this
another feature is synchronization
d found that in many cases especially
when private block chains i used a
party's wants to have this sociability
on premises on their own they're not
that's why
that's why we built this feature that
allows users to synchronize metadata
metadata using etherium blockchain
mechanisms
optimization it's also not a big news
for you that block chains have a limited
throughput and in case when you need to
notarize a big amount of files like
thousands or millions of files as we did
in our use cases
this
limit should not stop you moreover it
would be very costly with public block
chains if you would not arise each file
in the blockchain that's why we use
Patricia a miracle tree structure with
very variable chunk size to solve this
problem
so how does it work there have two basic
scenarios the first one the second one
is when you upload a file in the storage
the storage sense events to the acronis
notary which in terms
communicates with a theory on blockchain
and receives
data from the tree on blockchain proving
that the data was recorded
then this metadata is stored in acronis
not remade a data storage and
distributed between the nodes
the second scenario is you can use this
product with your own application not on
it is not necessary to you to use it
with the storage you can use any your
application and send
events why rest api or
mpq to the notary storage then you can
search and send purification requests or
Krishna tree and
do the blockchain
how a theorem is used here
we use Marco tracks for data protection
events for synchronization miracle
Patricia tea for optimization of stored
data and proof of work in the public
blog chains and proof of authority in
private block chains
acronis uses the film and a score parity
at the main block chain components the
product is built using robust
microservice architecture product can be
deployed in the cloud in the acronis
cloud or in asia or on-premises
let me say a few words about use cases
some of them are already in production
in the production stage some still in in
a pilot stage first storage we found
that there are several very good
scenarios for it for this usage for
example it could be used for long-term
archiving especially in the industries
in the industries which are heavily
regulated
banking industry health care
it also could be used for for
notarization of
footage from security CCTV cameras
another use case which is already in
production mode
open pixel is an open source tracking
software for mobile advertisement
advertisers publishers and that
advertisement network not usually trust
each other if you you probably face this
problem already it's industry when
sometimes you download logs and or your
provider gives you logs and you do not
really believe that it's
this information was not altered
our solution increases trust build
parties by neutralization of the logs in
grantees that data was not manipulated
afterwards and it actually it's not for
fun it's for money because this solution
decreases transaction costs between
parties
smart contracts for a company for
holding company this case is also in
production mode
how it works there's a holding company
which was developed by acquisition of
different companies that's why there is
a zoo of different earpiece systems
within the holding company and they need
to integrate some features like they
need to approve payments
going from each company in in the
headquarter
actually they had two options the first
one is to hire
is to hire consultants or to consultancy
company to integrate all the earpieces
teams it would be very costly and would
take a long time
another solution
it turned out to be very simple it was
the integration what was completed
within less than within a month
earpiece systems was integrated using
our notary feature and what is more
important it allows all the companies to
be sure that the data was not
manipulated the major takeaway from this
use case at that usually
it usually big companies consist of
several entities which do not completely
trust us at each other for example each
entity in the holding company always has
its own
CTO CEO who are responsible for P&L and
budget
the last use case became for I
became for Ben consortium in Russia
banks exchange information between
each other
for example information about
people who try to prod them or
exchange information on credit issues to
class and their client score the major
takeaway from this use case that
usually companies in many industries
find have already found the way to
arrange communication for major use
cases like
banks already have
Visa Mastercard or
field because they cannot live without
payments but when it comes to exchange
information in
less important cases like exchange
information about products they just
cannot arrange consortiums because they
would need to arrange a company elect
the CEO distribute shares manage the
company and so on it's it's so
cumbersome that no one is going to do it
and they also do not like to use a
single provider
to to help them that's why our solution
can help big companies in not only big
companies in many industries to arrange
consortiums
it is very pleasant to show you a
smiling faces of our clients
yes I'm I'm closing and by the way
if someone wants to share your ideas or
ask me equations you can find me in the
whole trading your questions or your
ideas for this funny t-shirts I still
have some
thank you
thank you very much Victor much
appreciated
